She also revealed that she took remarks made about Asians "personally".

The 43-year-old explained during a live taping of CBS's The Talk (via ET Online): "I have to be honest, it stung. Those things, in my opinion... it felt mean-spirited. It felt ugly and it felt mean.

"When I first found out that Aaryn [Gries], who is a 22-year-old girl, made anti-gay, anti-black and anti-Asian comments, I have to be honest, the Asian ones hit me the most. It stung. I took it personally. I'm a human being."

She added: "The really sad part, it took me back to the '70s when I was growing up in Queens and I was 7 years old getting bullied, being called a chink. I thought, 'Wow, I haven't heard comments like that [in years]'.
